Q

What are 4 reasons adults are at a higher risk for experiencing adverse effects of NSAIDs

A

higher use
increased prevalence of conditions exacerbated by NSAIDs (HTN, CHF, Renal insuff.)
larger numbers of comorbid conditions
higher use of other meds

17
Q

______________ declines with age irrespective of the use of drug therapy

A

RENAL FUNCTION

18
Q

__________________locally modulate the effects of both systemic and locally produced vaso-constrictor hormones

A

eicosanoids

19
Q

what ar ethe 2 predominant mediators of physiologic activity in the kidney

A

PGI2, PGE2

20
Q

what do PGI2 and PGE2 do in the kidney?

A

induce vasodilation of interlobular arteries, affarent and efferent arterioles and glomeruli

21
Q

why is risk of NSAID-associated acute renal failure in healthy people negligible

A

because the basal PG production is low in healthy people

22
Q

what are some risk factors that render the kidney prostaglandin dependent and so place pts at risk of ARF when they take NSAIDs

A
true intravascular volume depletion
vomiting
diarrhea
diuretics
effective intravascular volume depletion
congestive heart failure
cirrhosis
kidney disease
ARF
CKD
meds
ACE inhibitors
ARBs
old age
23
Q

How do PGI2 and PGE2 preserve GFR

A

by antagonizing arteriolar vasoconstriction and blunting mesangial and podocyte contraction induced by endogenous vasopressors

24
Q

the risks of lowering GFR in pts with underlying pathologic states increases with the _____________- and the _________________ of NSAID consumption

A

dose, duration

25
Q

Explain how PG prod. is increased in CKD

A

induced by intrarenal mechanisms activated to increase perfusion to remnant nephrons

26
Q

So if you use an NSAID in a pt with CKD what will happen

A

they will have acute reductions in RBF and GFR

27
Q

what kind of drugs increase the risk for ARF when given with NSAID

A

ACE and ARB

28
Q

PGE2 decreases cellular transport of what in the TALH and CD

A

sodium chloride

29
Q

an increase in renal sodium excretion and a decrease in medullary tonicity are the direct result of what

A

PGE2

30
Q

PGE2 and PGI2 also stimulate _________secretion , which ultimately activates RAAS

A

renin

31
Q

PGE2 and PGI2 also inhibit__________- synthesis and oppose the action of ADH facilitating water excretion

A

cyclinc-AMP

32
Q

What is the net effect of PGs on the loop of henle and distal nephron

A

leads to mild dose-dependent increase in BP

33
Q

what kinds of pts are at a higher risk to develop severe HTN

A
elderly
pre-existing HTN
salt-sensitive pts
pts with renal failure
pts with renovascular HTN
34
Q

COX-2 inhibitors are equivalent to NSAIDs with respect to their

A

nephrotoxic potential

35
Q

________________ is manifest in terms of tubular epithelial necrosis secondary to altered renal hemodynamics

A

ACUTE TOXICITY

36
Q

NSAIDs are also associated with what that is thought to be the result of reaction to individual NSAID chemical structure

A

interstitial nephritis
